Who knew? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not judging here. I mean, I just named my son Benjamin Kenobi Quinn. Yet something tells me I won’t be teaching him the Psalms of Boba Fett or the gospel according to Ackbar.

I kid, I kid.

But seriously, may the force be with them and may they already have girlfriends.
